Annyeong! Reporter Taemi here! This week's theme is appreciating underrated kpop groups. I choose 'Hyukoh' & 'Say Yes' because I feel like they don't get a lot of attention and there's many people who probably have not heard of them before. Their music is beyond amazing! Like so many people are sleeping on them, they should wake up because they are the real deal too! What I like about them is that their music is so unique from the others. They are very talented & handsome!

Hyukoh is a South Korea indie pop and rock band who formed in May 2014 and is under Artist Management Company DRDR from 2014 & present and under HIGHGRND from 2015 & present. HIGHGRND is a sub-label under YG Entertainment. Epik High's Tablo is the president of HIGHGRND. Anyway There are 4 members, Oh Hyuk, Im Dong Gun, Lim Hyun Jae, & Lee In Woo. They released their debut EP '20' on September 18, 2014. Hyukoh have experienced success in the underground music, selling out small venues! They were on the the popular variety program "Infinite Challenge" and they received many positive feedback. They broke top ten of the Billboard World Albums Chart two months after their release of their second mini album '22'.
